It’s a new month, which means it’s time for a new round of Trivia By Milwaukee Record! Well, it’s actually an old round of Trivia By Milwaukee Record, but whatever. We’ll explain.

Thanks to our friends at the Pabst Theater Group, our home-brewed trivia questions are part of the pre-show entertainment at Vivarium and Turner Hall Ballroom. Test your Milwaukee knowledge in our seven website categories: Music, City Life, Food/Drink, Comedy, Film, Arts, and Sports! Think you know all there is to know about random Milwaukee history and/or un-killable hot topics like the Milwaukee flag? Go to a show and find out!
